Songfacts®:

  • Throughout their career, Lil Uzi Vert has been hounded by rumors and haters about their sexuality. They don't fit that cookie-cutter rapper image, as they rock different styles and colors that some folks say aren't manly enough. But here, Uzi shuts 'em down, straight up, bragging about how many ladies they've laid. Their body count with women? The answer is the ultimate smackdown to those questioning Uzi's sexual preference.
  • The rest of the song sees Uzi boasting about their success and wealth.

    Flooded the face, matted the Wraith
    Got a new house, unlimited space
    It was just hard, now my life great


    Lil Uzi Vert did something crazy in February 2021. They put a huge pink diamond on their forehead, worth 24 million bucks. Uzi said it was like having a flooded watch, but on their face. You know, a watch that's covered with bling. That's some serious flexing.

    If you're looking for a ride that's sleek and classy, you might want to check out the Rolls-Royce Wraith. This car is a beast, with a V12 engine and a top speed of 155 mph. It's also super comfy, with leather seats and a starlight headliner. Uzi previously mentioned the vehicle in their collaborative A$AP Mob single, "RAF."
  • Atlanta legend DJ Don Cannon cooked up the cosmic-sounding beat with Harold Harper. In 2015, Cannon and DJ Drama founded the label Generation Now as an imprint of Atlantic Records. Cannon spotted Lil Uzi Vert's potential early on and helped craft their debut commercial mixtape, Luv Is Rage, which dropped later that year. DJ Don Cannon also played a big role in Uzi's 2017 studio album, Luv Is Rage 2, as an executive producer. He's been a mentor and a friend to Uzi ever since.

    Harold Harper also produced Uzi's "Prices" and "Dummy Man."
  • Lil Uzi Vert has been working on "Flooded The Face" since 2017. It was hyped up on social media for a long time, and the final version showcases his dedication to making every detail perfect. The track was finally released on June 30, 2023, as the opening song from Uzi's third studio album, Pink Tape.
  • Pink Tape itself had been in the works as far back as 2020, when Uzi announced it during an Instagram Live session. Highly anticipated, it debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming Uzi's third #1 album in the US.
